Drómani

The Drómani (Singular Dróman), witchfolk or giants were among the oldest and most magically gifted race in the Nine Realms. Myths speak of their birth as being from the blood of Jörumm.

Though they were neither gods nor mortals, they were revered for their wisdom, might and their legendary gift of prophecy. The Drómani played an important role in the shaping of the history of the Nine Realms up until their disappearance after the Shattering. Most folk believe they retreated to their realm of Drómanheim.

Appearance
It is said that the Drómani were the original skinchangers, and that their mastery of dróðr magic allowed them to control the very elements of nature around them. Generally, however, they were said to take the form of humans or human-adjacent creatures. They could also magically regulate their size to varying degrees.

It is also said that no Dróman was truly alike; that each had their own unique capabilities. Some were gifted in language, others with their skinchanging. Some were gifted with immense size and strength while others could see past and future as if looking over a valley from a mountain top.

Culture and People
The Drómani are said to have taught the secrets of druidism and dróðr magic to the first humans. Their magic, and by extension culture, revolves around the changing constants of nature and the wilderness, and thus the Drómani were well accustomed to the cycle of life and death.

Legacy
Though the Drómani disappeared after the Shattering, they as a whole left a lasting impact on the Nine Realms, whether for good or ill.

The Drómani were great visionaries who often allied with other races to raise great monuments, temples and structures. Some of these include the Giant's Chain, the Aerie and the Halls of Nine.
